We used to have Junior Panhel, for all New Members and First Year Sorority women, but the short New Member meetings messed that up.

One thing that we did and isn't still done (although I'd like to see it happen again) is the Study Break hour that I've mentioned before.

All the sororities but two are in one dorm, and we used to keep our big coffee urn full of hot water the entire midterm & finals season. We had coffees, teas, hot chocolate, sugar, sweeteners, creamers, and any cookies, fruit, or other goodies we had. We then put a sign in the elevator that all women - and women only! - were invited to join us for a Study Break, from 11pm>12pm. No men were allowed as women came in varying states of dress (usually robes or such), no makeup, etc. An alarm was set, and at 12 midnight, it was over, and everyone was asked graciously to go back to their studies.

More Panhellenic spirit started over a quick cup of coffee than you can imagine!
